any word yet why the fine steel menavlion got Couch removed? That was pretty much the only one I've found in my ~30 day playthrough

Is there any way to raise rep with a village leader when they don't have any quests for you? Basically to unlock Battania Highborn Youth spots, of which there's only a few and some are locked behind reputation

Is there a trick to getting the relative to show up in Family Feud quest? This seems like one of the more buggier ones, it's been flaky for me multiple times. But maybe I'm missing something. -I got the quest -went and spoke to the kid -kid is in my party -go to the other town, speak to the guy -thugs are there as normal, but the kid never spawns in with me and the other NPC never triggers the quest dialogue

it's dumb that all horses (including Sumpters) are called 'horse' at the top of the tooltip, but there's a 2nd 'horse' label down at the bottom which is the one that matters

No matter who I put at the top of the party list I'll get completely different parties every time I save and load. Is this just not a thing I'm able to control yet? Yep, it's random. I'm using the tweaks mod which removes that cap, because it's a particularly annoying part of vanilla imo Plus it's hilarious at the end when the boss comes out to duel you and you've got a party of 70 surrounding him in a giant deep circle, then you say no to the duel https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/49?tab=description

So if you're part of a kingdom and attack another kingdom's Caravan you get set to -200 influence and start a war between the two powers. The former is fine and good, things had been stale for a while. But should I care about -200 influence? The voting stuff seems inconsequential so far

I went from that caravan into killing 2x enemy armies which snowballed into picking up my first two workshops, so I just rolled with it. The King still likes me just fine, and soon after I went -200 they voted to give me my first castle, so it doesn't seem to matter. I can't vote on anything else but, again, the other votes don't seem to matter much

Like I said, they gave me my first castle almost immediately after I went to -200, so I guess you need influence to get new fiefs beyond that initial one? Armies is a big deal. I'm already 'up' to -140 though so it goes pretty quick anyway

What do people like for your non-Battian Fian Champion troops as Battiania? Basically, which of Trained Spearman, Veteran Falxman, or Wildling are the best blockers/meatshields? I initially went with Wildlings cause the picture has a big rear end shield, but they seem underwhelming. Of course, you could also just pick up an imperial line unit instead for this role

lots of posts on here saying kings will just give a settlement to the player if they don't have one, that hasn't happened in my campaign because it's always up to a vote and other lords with influence just vote for themselves every time.

Trading ones are rare but they apparently exist (though not guaranteed to be in every game). Someone made a good compilation: https://www.reddit.com/r/mountandblade/comments/fx4sp7/all_companionswanderers_and_their_skills/

Gaj posted:Is anyone else seeing a distinct lact of chest armor? I see plenty of helmets, boots, hand, and cloaks but almost no chest armor. Is this a patch thing or based on local workshops? It might depend on region. I know I'm killing the Western Empire right now and there's plenty of it around. It also mostly looks like cloth/undershirts, so that's a bit confusing visually

Blacksmithing: Are you basically forced to take the Fine Steel / Thamskene recipes at 75 and 100 skill? Seems like you barely get any of it through smelting Followup question: is there a worthwhile endgame of crafting in place for this stuff? It seems like it's the only way to get Fine or Masterwork since item modifiers don't exist as drops anymore

Oh dear me posted:But I like the idea that after slaughtering an army you'd have a lot of spare vests. What I'd really like would be 'Buy all' and 'Sell all' buttons you could set some rules for, like 'Sell all unequipped', or 'Sell all red trade goods'. This kind of works by locking your horses/trade goods/food/weapons you're saving then using the Sell All button for the rest. The only annoyance is that if you have rare food like Oil or Beer, and lock it, then it gets used, if you get it again later it won't be locked anymore

What skill controls the chance of prisoners deciding to join you? Charm? After a war with one of the imperials I've got a nice chunk of their elite cavalry, but I notice tier 6 or 7 units never seem to give in, it's only the lower ones

^^ also for preventing them from being smelted, especially since the smelting UI defaults to the top of the list if you're spamming the button I'm very optimistic for all these little tweaks, though, looking at the pace of their patching

Chomp8645 posted:The real clutch is to have archers in the center, infantry off to one side, cavalry (if present) on the other side. Have not-archers charge before the enemy fully closes distance. This way even when the melee balls connect your shooty mans still have a line of fire. And hoo boy that is when the really go to town. Not a big deal, but is it possible to select more than one group (the infantry+cav in this case) for simultaneous commands?

dogstile posted:But yeah, i'm starting to think enemy lords should be able to "cheat" a little bit, if only to make sure that battles are interesting. I just had a 700v700 battle that had about 400 recruits on either side. Not even tier two. My core of legionaries slaughtered their way through the enemy army, which is cool but also something that shouldn't happen as often as it does? quote:E: Maybe its half the reason archers are so good right now too. They're basically just shooting pincushions, which causes a morale cascade, which causes the next set of enemies to spawn, but they don't run in formation, so they get cut down one by one even if they make it to the infantry line.

Sky Shadowing posted:Sieges definitely need some tuning, I feel like the 'optimal' strategy in terms of easiest battle is to knock down the walls, but I can never get my siege engines up because the enemies just have 4 sitting there waiting for something to shoot at. And that's with me as an Empire char, who has a significant bonus to setting up siege engines. By 'knock down the walls' do you mean Trebs will eventually break a wall completely (those avoiding the need for ladders/siege towers)? I haven't seen that, but I also haven't let it go very long because my army cohesion falls apart

That Italian Guy posted:- During the siege phase, after the siege camp has been assembled, start building trebs/catapults in all 4 slots (you have to queue them all together). Thanks. I'd done the reserve thing but yea never got far enough for them to actually break down walls, since I've been using armies and the cohesion runs out

Drakes posted:Trader better! Exp seems to scale greater if you make a big profit off a larger transaction. I definitely did quite a bit of running around town and finding the trading hints then doing them early on in this playthrough  I stopped doing it because the sums involved started to mean there either wasn't enough available of the good in question, or it was enough that it would tank the price in the selling town and end up not being very profitable overall Tamba posted:You could use another exploit to level up your trading skill (caravan prices are based on the closest city), but if you're using a tedious exploit to be able to use another exploit to break the game, you might as well just open the console and cheat directly. Yep, I thought about setting my trading to 225 but at that point you might as well just cheat to get the towns directly.

Randarkman posted:I think only two handed weapons (that are not polearms) cleave. It doesn't make perfect sense, but some of the higher tier glaives and poo poo are just utterly ridiculous already, especially from horseback. Almost feel like maybe they should be disabled for use on horseback (perhaps enabled with a perk, like longbows and such) as they compeltely overshadow and outperform lances at the moment. I feel like anything that can do swing attacks SHOULD outperform lances, with lances having the bonus of being able to couch. But for whatever reason they highly restricted the lances that can couch, so there's a bunch of them right now that have neither bonus

There definition needs to be another option for getting nobles out of the picture now that they made executing even worse (now it also gives you -10 with other Honorable nobles, so you'll quickly tank rep even with people in your own faction)

Go around to villages and look for 'Highborn Youths', or install this mod to get an icon for it. Some of them will be gated behind rep, but there should be 3-4 places you can recruit them from immediately https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/429?tab=description You can also turn captured wood bandits into Fians with the leadership perk, or putting them in a castle of yours to train

bannerlord tweaks just removes the 10 cap which makes hideouts easy. I'd actually prefer the challenge if I could SELECT the 10 that come in with me, but in the mean time I'll send 40 Fians at them instead of dealing with randomly getting sent in with recruits
